Why don't their heads implode?
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 06:34 PM by TahitiNut
Anderson Cooper just finished interviewing the former mayor of Philadephia, Mississippi. One of far too many living anachronisms, he steadfastly held to the same tired rhetoric about 'outsiders coming down' where they're not invited and who 'should have known better' than to intrude on their local politics. "We were correcting our problems, maybe not as fast as some would like," he said.

He ignored, of course, the fact that one of the area residents who did 'invite' them to help was one of the ones killed on June 21, 1964. I guess there're invitations and there're invitations, huh?

Fast forward to March 2003. Invade and occupy Iraq.

How is it that these right-wing morans can claim other citizens of the same nation "shouldn't interfere" in local politics where people are being deprived of their civil rights, incuding their very lives, and then rabidly support a regime that goes half-way around the world based on a pack of lies and "interferes" (murdering tens of thousands!) with the "local politics" of another nation?

It's "regime change" NIMBY? Unfreakingreal!

How can any organism able to form a sentence or feed itself even hold the two attitudes in the same skull?

:eyes: :eyes:

3. Thing is they really don't give two shits about anything outside their own
perceived 'reality'. They don't care about Iraqis having a democratic government, I am willing to bet they didn't give it a second thought until their Moran Leader told them that is why he invaded. Hell these idiots don't care about what their 'elected' Leaders say they will do to get elected and then obviously don't do! They never get the disconnect! :eyes: indeed!

4. Your getting Warmer....
Think shopping centers in the mid 70's.....road side flower stands in the 80's......many never came back to their families, just showed up on the faculties of tiny Fundamentalist colleges in the early 90's......and then into political campaigns. Campaigns they supported and organized as if they were doing it for 80 years....think....the answer will come...
